if you google it, there are several sites that have step by step instructions and pictures so that makes easier.

basically you cut off the legs of the jeans, turn inside out. Sew and openings(where the legs were cut off) closed. Cut strip down the legs for strap, however thick you want the strap.Fold length wise and sew closed. Then just sew the strap to the bag.

If the jeans legs are really wide you can use them as the bag. just cut off and sew on end close. Instead of having to sew the whole strap you can cut three long strips from the legs and braid it together
